Hidden Pain

I stand behind the waterfall
which is frozen halfway down.
I glance out across the lake
and find a figure in the crowd.

Skaters skating all around.
But this one, he stands still.
Staring straight, into my eyes,
emotionless, not even a smile.

He points right at me
and calls me t him.
I walk very briskly,
my face looking grim.

When I approach him
he starts to frown.
He pushes me roughly
and I slide to the ground.

The skaters kept skating
and no one could see,
no one had witnessed
the pain he'd caused me.

So here I sit today,
at the edge of the crowd.
Watching all the skaters
skate round and round.
